Typical West Seneca Pest Control Problems

One of the nice things about West Seneca is that it employs the best of both worlds: it’s like living in the big city and a small town at the same time. The suburbs are close enough together to give it a neighborly feel, but it’s also close enough to stores and other venues to make it convenient. Unfortunately, these features prime the area for pest problems, including rodents. Rats and mice are some of the most common pests in Erie County, and officials have warned citizens about their dangers. Rodents cause damage by chewing on everything they can, contaminating food, tearing cloth and other materials for their nests, and spreading disease. Hantavirus, leptospirosis, and rat-bite fever are just a few of the diseases rats and mice can spread. Other rodents, like groundhogs and gophers, destroy beautiful landscaping by tunneling through lawns, eating valuable plants, and destroying gardens and flower beds. 

Between the neighborhoods and along Buffalo Creek and Cazenovia Creek, thick woodlands beautify West Seneca and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, these creeks and woodlands also bring other pest problems with them. Mosquitoes are a perfect example since they often use standing water along the creek beds as breeding grounds. Unfortunately, mosquitoes can carry and transmit diseases like Zika virus and West Nile virus.

Wasps are also an issue in the West Seneca area. Wasps of all kinds, including social wasps and hornets, usually appear as the weather warms during the summer months.  They can also sting multiple times, which is dangerous for anyone allergic to insect stings, and this could even cause life-threatening anaphylaxis.
